How the Left Lost

You can't kill the Manosphere

For the past 18 months, there’s been a concerted effort to demonize the Manosphere. After writing in this space for over twenty years, I’ve come to expect a bastardization of the “Red Pill” being used to prop up whatever pet ideology it’s been appropriated for. This election cycle was different. The Wokzis needed a boogeyman, and that boogeyman needed to represent the toxic masculinity they knew would settle this election.

After the 2016 defeat of Hilary Clinton, all politics are gender politics. Statistically, women decide elections. In the US, there are simply more female voters than male. They’re easier to motivate with base emotions. Communitarianism and collectivism are hard-coded into the female psyche. Women innately prioritize emotion before reason, and all you need to confirm this fact is to pay attention to all the female meltdown videos on social media in the wake of Trump’s soundly defeating Kamala Harris. 

The political Left in the US has a virtual lock on the female vote. It’s something they’re quite proud of, actually. All the leftist media machine needs do is pump up fears of losing women’s “right” to elective abortions six months before the general election, and you have a solid voting block to build on. But, as we’ve seen, that block isn’t a guarantee of victory. There’s still those uncooperative men who, if motivated properly, might upset that lock on female voters.
